Randy,
>>The other question I have is where else on the web would one go to buy a VCR? I know there are a thousand possible places, but which one would you expect to have very good service and competitive prices? I just don't know of any which stand out as superior to Amazon. I was surprised that Amazon appears to have decent prices. Shipping was $9.00, which is certainly not a gouging price either.<<

I just a portable DVD player from costco's online website. While shopping on the web, I compared prices and Amazon was charging $999 for the player with the cheapest being $739(I used Yahoo shopping and another shopping bot to compare prices). I went with Costco at $799 because of their liberal return policy - just take it to the local store, no questions asked - no shipping required. I checked a few other items at Amazon and others and found Amazon to usually have a higher, if not the highest, price.
